Guitar maker plays a Linux tune

Infoworld has posted a news story on Ernie Ball Inc., which has moved its IT system almost entirely to open-source software

Two years after moving to open-source products, Ball claims that he saves $80,000 to $100,000 a year on IT spending, which is sizeable for a company of 80 computer users. Savings come from decreased maintenance, but more importantly, there is no longer any pressure to pay for regular software and hardware upgrades, he said.
